In the first editorial written on the launch of Criminal Law and Philosophy, the edi-
tors expressed the wish that the journal would provide
a home for good philosophical writing about criminal law, a place where peo-
ple will look to find such writing, and a forum for productive inter-disciplinary
conversation about issues in criminal law-all of which should provide further
stimulus to philosophical lawyers and legal philosophers.1
Thanks to the initial editorial team, and then to Antony Duff and Doug Husak
respectively, the journal has more than realised its initial aims. Taking over the edi-
torial reins from Doug Husak is daunting. In addition to being a brilliant philoso-
pher of criminal law, Doug has worked tirelessly to develop the journal, encourage
new work and scholars, and to earn CLPH a well-deserved reputation for speed and
efficiency (in a domain of academia not always known for those virtues). He has
also been generous with his time in helping us get to grips with our new roles. It is
thus with enormous pleasure that we thank Doug for everything he has done.
This is also an appropriate moment to thank the many referees over the years
without whom no journal can succeed; our Associate Editors; Massimo Renzo, who
oversees book reviews and symposia; and our Editorial Board. Sadly, in this issue
we mark the premature loss of one member of the Board, the great and loved John
Gardner.
Given the success of the journal, we do not plan to make any substantive changes
in the approach that has seen CLPH come this far. Rather, we want to build on that
success in part by opening up the journal to more people and ideas. With respect to
people, we are eager to see more contributions from outside the Anglo-American
world and more from scholars from minority communities. If you fit into either,
or both, of these groups, please do submit your work or get in touch about book
reviewing (or anything else).
